$DUSK is the native utility token of the Dusk Network, a privacy-oriented Layer-1 blockchain built for regulated finance and confidential smart contracts. DUSK plays a central role in the ecosystem — it’s used for staking and participating in consensus to secure the network, paying transaction fees and gas, deploying dApps, and earning rewards for validators. The platform combines zero-knowledge privacy technology with regulatory compliance tools to support real-world and institutional financial use cases. With ongoing development and the launch of the DuskEVM testnet, Dusk is positioning itself as a bridge between decentralized tech and regulated markets.#dusk
